Any one who thinks her family isn't dysfunctional is behaving like an ostrich with it's head in the sand. :P

Exactly. That is why she needs to separate herself from them. They will deal with their issues (or not). Has virtually nothing to do with what she needs to do. Waiting for them to be ready to get their shit together just keeps her sick. As it does with most addicts.

The thing about addiction is, most addicts use their family as an excuse. "I wouldn't use if my so and so didn't do such and such." "If my dad would change, I wouldn't have to use." It is just part of the justifying behavior that goes with addiction.

They have to learn to stop using other people and other situations as their excuse and realize that they use because they are an addict and don't know the coping skills to live their life sober. They can get sober, and stay sober, no matter what anyone else in their life is doing or not doing. They are not as powerless as their addiction wants them to believe they are.

What are the odds that Lohan's family will be supportive? Personally, I'd say slim to none based on what I know and seen from her family. :P

Ain't gonna happen. But that doesn't mean that she can't get clean and stay clean.

I would assume this applies to alcoholics as well.

Yes, it does.

One of the 12 steps that AA uses, and that so many other substance abuse support groups use, is "I admitted I was powerless over alcohol." (Insert any othe substance of abuse). But people who know a little about addiction see that as the addict not having any power. That is not what it means, and that is not the intent of the step. They are powerless over the substance...they are not powerless over themselves or the choices they make regarding that substance. They loose power when they use because they give over all of their power to the substance. They can't control the effect that using that substance has on them. But they can control whether they use or not. But it is almost universal that an addict/alcoholic will keep trying to control the substance, and keep rolling farther down that hill. When they accept that they can't control the substance, but they do have power over their choices and their behaviors, they begin to embrace sobriety.

She embarassed kelly Osborne last week (there is a panel of 4 ...her, Kelly, some gay guy, and that one lady who does all the E! interviews...Guianna something). kelly always tries to be civil but Joan says what everyone is thinking and makes them blush! It is hilarous!

At first, i thought it was just another stupid show but I was bored at my 2nd job one day so I just watched it for the hell of it. I laughed and laughed so hard in that 30 mins. Since then, I added another famous person on my list to meet...Joan Rivers. A 60 something year old lady making so many sexual overtones about other people. It was GREAT!

I believe she's the same age as my mother and my mother is 77 years old. Both Rivers and my mother were born in the same year.
 
article says Actress will stay in jail for 30 days that mean one month not 15 days!
